A real display of versatility.

From the metalcore energy of "Of Love and Lunacy" to this, you can scarcely tell it's the same band. As a matter of fact, though, it only helps to make the album more enjoyable. This is a HUGE transition from one side of the spectrum to the other, but it's moreso a masterpiece keeping that in mind. I can call it thrash metal now, which is quite alright with me. They've worked out some of the kinks with guitar work and added in a synthesizer, as well as revamped some of the blast beats they had worked on mastering in their first album. These guys really have come a long way and I'm glad to say "The Serpent" is possibly even better than "Of Love and Lunacy."

Dont Fret its Still Good

I just wrote a detailed review but timed out. So I will summarize...This album is softer than the previous but is extremely creative. It has a foreign metal sound at the same time new edge cut.
It seems to have alot of work put into it without a doubt.
**DO NOT BUY** these songs first
the serpent ( first song ) and Maria. Buy the whole album if you get these.
Great Starters Are
-Anemia In Your Sheets
-The Wax Walls of an Empty Room
-Dropped from the Cherry Tree
*True Creative Talent are Stay Captive and Avalanche
The remaining songs are slower but are undoubtably amazing.Whole album is recommended.

Of Love and Lunacy was a masterpiece...I loved that album and now they cut out the intensity. The guy who said they did what Trivium did was right: not necessarily that they sold out but that they took steps in a new direction, but it is a direction that fans of hardcore and metalcore don't really feel like following and a direction that will get them some radio time. It is too bad, because Haste The Day did something similar, but kept screaming in every song. SR has half the songs on the album that have the potential to become radio anthems, which means they really changed their mindset. Its gets two stars because of Anemia in Your Sheets, Wax Walls, and Avalanche.

A metalcore act from the small upper Midwestern city of Grand Rapids, MI, Still Remains avoid the taint of sounding like every similar young band in their chosen style by prominently using synthesizers alongside the unison-riff guitars. As a result, their music has a strong similarity to European symphonic power metal acts such as Nightwish, giving the group a strong following both on the Continent and among North American fans of the style. Still Remains formed in 2002 with an original lineup of...
